To experiment with night photography and shoot photographs inspired by Helmut Newton I shot and styled my model in ways that I felt expressed a vintage French style. For location I choose to shoot my model in an isolated park walkway as It had a quiet atmosphere and warm lighting that was coming from Parisian looking streets lamps which I felt had a link to the story behind my shoot. Although the location was quiet it also allowed me to capture the busy street and car lights in the background which added movement and a blur effect, allowing my model to be the sole focus.

I styled my model in a white shirt and stripped blouse which was inspired by watching how women In French movies dressed such as Coco Chanel. I found from watching this movie that designers such as Coco dressed In shirts and blouses to look more masculine instead of feminine. I liked the whole masculine look and choose to recreate this in my shoot. I added to this by styling my models hair, applying harsh make up and giving her a classic cigarette to pose with.
